DNS PTR Lookup

When I make the following call:

IPHostEntry hostInfo = Dns.GetHostByAddress( hostIPAddress ) ;

If the PTR does not exist my program will than start making Netbios calls
(Name query to the remote host). The netbios lookup is very undesired.

Is there a way to disable the Netbios name query and have it only do the DNS
lookup?

amy:

it is not clear from your post what "PTR" is releative to the example. try
re-writing the post a little more clearly - this will help you get the
answers you need.
